The Daily Kos goes after Politico for the way that it han­dled Palin’s claim over the health care plan:

Seriously? Seriously?

Yes, seri­ously. It falls to Politico to take a story about a national fig­ure mak­ing up whole­sale a crooked and ridicu­lous story about how Democratic “Death Panels” are com­ing after her dis­abled child if we dare reform health­care, and turn it into an absolutely straight news story.Well done, Politico. Absolutely mas­ter­ful. I couldnt come up with a more embar­rass­ing exam­ple of the national polit­i­cal media as lazy, stu­pid, worse-than-useless prop if I tried.

As the Daily Kos points out it should not be too much to ask for an insti­tu­tion like Politico to point out how bla­tantly igno­rant and idi­otic Palin’s state­ment is. Instead of doing so though they sim­ply quote her and lend a ounce of cred­i­bil­ity to her claim.
